First-Principles Investigation of the Effect of Vacancy Defects and Carbon Impurities on Thermal Conductivity of Uranium Mononitride (UN)

Uranium mononitride (UN) is a promising nuclear fuel with a high melting point, high thermal conductivity, and low coefficient of thermal expansion. Theoretical studies of UN can provide insights on its thermal transport mechanism, which is of great significance for the design and application of UN...
